    Hello.

    So I tried to restore from a previous day (no more than 5 days prior) and it messed up the files so bad, that I could not start even in safe mode. So I download the tool on USB and rebooted the whole system; however, upon adding my Hotmail account I got my backgrounds back, but I still could not change the taskbar (which is a stark gray-white that causes me massive headaches). The option is personalization is grayed out to where clicking is disabled. I thought it was I needed a new product key, but I cannot buy a new one and it tells me "windows is activated with a digital license linked to your Microsoft account".


    I searched for an hour for answers and only found help in explaining how to get to the personalization and not WHY it will not allow me to change this one feature.

    :)
